Kenosha committee denies a parking restriction request and approves backyard chickens and temporary signage
Summary
After the Layla appeal, the committee denied a temporary parking restriction request, approved a backyard chicken coop renewal for Valerie Quincy, and approved temporary parkway signage requests for charitable and leasing purposes; one prior downtown 30‑minute parking trial proposal was denied.
Following the dangerous‑animal appeal, the Kenosha Public Safety Committee considered routine permitting and traffic items and took several votes.
The committee denied a request to restrict parking on the east side of 23rd Avenue north of 52nd Street after staff and the fire department reported concerns and a staff‑level compromise was reached with landowners and business operators. "It can be done at staff level approval and does not need any kind of board act," staff said of the resolved approach.
A backyard chicken‑coop renewal for Valerie Quincy at 7115 33rd Avenue was approved after an elder-person (committee member) said there had been no complaints and offered a positive recommendation. The committee approved temporary parkway signage for a charitable display to be installed Nov. 16–Jan. 6 and separately approved temporary signage for Carrick Apartments' leasing office pending staff review. A previous request for a 30‑minute parking trial downtown was denied based on staff and alderman review that the original need no longer exists.
Each item was moved, seconded and put to a voice vote; the chair recorded the approvals and denials in the meeting minutes. Staff noted that several of the signage items could be handled at staff level in the future and commended applicants for following the permitting process.
